Mama Said

Mama said that it was quite alrightOur kind of people had a bed for the nightAnd it was OKMama told us we are good kidsAnd daddy told us never listen to the onesPointing nasty fingers and making fun'Cause we were good kids

Remember asking both my mom and dadWhy we never traveled to exotic landsWe only ever really visit friendsNothing to tell when the summer endsWe never really went buying clothesFolks were passing on this stuff in plenty loadsNew shoes once a year and thenOut to play ball so we could ruin them

When mama said that it was okayMama said that it was quite alrightOur kind of people had a bed for the nightAnd it was OKMama told us we were good kidsAnd daddy told us never listen to the onesPointing nasty fingers and making fun'Cause we were good kids

Don't get me wrong I didn't have it badI got enough loving from my mom and dadBut I don't think they really understoodWhen I said that I wanted the deal in HollywoodI told them I'll be singing on TVThe other kids were calling me a wannabeThe older kids they started bugging meBut now they're all standing right in front of me

When mama said that it was okayMama said that it was quite alrightOur kind of people had a bed for the nightAnd it was OKMama told us we were good kidsAnd daddy told us never listen to the onesPointing nasty fingers and making fun'Cause we were good kids

I know which place I'm fromI know my homeWhen I'm in doubt and strugglingThat's where I goAn old friend can give adviceWhen new friends only know a half storyThat's why I'm always keep them tightAnd why I'm okayI said I'm OK
